1987 Vancouver 28- Small Boat, Big Dreams

Meet 'Celena III', a full-keel, heavy-displacement legend designed to chase the horizon and come back with stories.
Built for real ocean miles this cutter-rigged beauty is for the sailor who dreams of night watches under stars, quiet anchorages in faraway bays, and the deep satisfaction of self-reliance.

Her Highlights include:
Sturdy full keel and deep forefoot – built to cross oceans, not just look pretty
Cutter rig for balance and control in all conditions
Warm, cozy interior trimmed in teak – smells like adventure
Tiller steering for ultimate feel (you and the boat, in sync)
Compact enough for solo handling, tough enough for the open ocean
